Weather in August
Temperature
The coldest period tends to be August, when average temperatures fluctuate between a high of 33°C (91.4°F) and a low of 24.1°C (75.4°F).Heat index
In August, the heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
